From the statistics dealing with cancer yielded in the Internal Medicine Department, Treichville Hospital, secundary bone cancer appears with a low percentage. The short expectation of life and the reluctance of African patients to report to the hospital must be considered to appreciate these data. Most often, at their admittance, cases show numerous and large metastasises. Bone tumors related to a primitive liver cancer are rare. More often, metastasises in prostate cancer may be observed. They are generally osteocondensing. Breast cancer is, for its frequency, ranking just after it. In one third of the cases, the origine has not been cleared out.
从特雷奇维尔医院内科提供的癌症统计数据来看，继发性骨癌的发病率较低。必须考虑到患者预期寿命短以及非洲患者不愿就医的情况，才能正确理解这些数据。大多数情况下，患者入院时已出现大量且广泛的转移。与原发性肝癌相关的骨肿瘤较为罕见。更常见的是前列腺癌转移，通常表现为骨硬化。乳腺癌的转移频率仅次于前列腺癌。在三分之一的病例中，原发灶尚未明确。
